FARMINGTON — A Farmington man who was indicted earlier this year for assault, was indicted again recently, for burglary, in a separate incident. Donald Edward Nisbet, 26, of 77 Bunker St., Apt. 1, was indicted on a count of burglary for an incident on April 23. The Strafford County Attorney’s office alleges Nisbet entered a residence on Spring Street at that time with the purpose of committing theft. According to court documents, Nisbet entered the premises at approximately 8 p.m. He has been released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail under Community Correction supervision and ordered to not have possession of firearms or other weapons and to refrain from use of alcohol or illicit drugs. Nisbet was also indicted on a charge of second-degree assault earlier this year for an incident that allegedly occurred on Nov. 18, 2011. Then, he was arrested for allegedly punching and kicking 26-year-old Tyler Lowell outside an acquaintance’s home on Sycamore Boulevard in Farmington. Farmington Police Chief told Foster’s earlier this year Nisbet has “a prior record” and is known to other departments in the surrounding area.Following his indictment for the second-degree assault on May 17, the Strafford County House of Corrections reported Nisbet was released on May 18 to the Rockingham County House of Corrections for a “probation violation.” An official from the Rockingham County House of Corrections at that time said Nisbet was released from that house of corrections on May 24.An arraignment for the indictment pertaining to the burglary has been scheduled for 9 a.m. today in Strafford County Superior Court.An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a grand jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
